Installation Points to Remember
♦Make sure that vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission do not start
while in any of the drive gears. If the
vehicle starts in gear, install a
manual-transmission remote starter
instead.
♦When installing a manual-transmission
product on a vehicle with a manual
transmission, always make sure that all
doors will get the unit out of ready
mode. switch the wire used so that it is
triggered by all doors.
♦When installing a manual-transmission
product on a vehicle with a manual
transmission, make sure that the
parking brake and door switch contacts
work properly.
♦When working on a vehicle, always
leave a window open.
♦Never leave the keys in the car. Leave
them on a workbench with a window
rolled down.
♦If possible, remove courtesy light fuse
to prevent battery drain.
♦The PROGRAMMING ASSISTANCE BUTTON (PAB)
The PAB is mounted on the side of the
module unit and fulfils the same
function as the hood-pin switch. The
PAB will spare installers the effort of
getting out of the vehicle to access the
hood-pin switch. The PAB works only
when the hood is up.
♦Inspect vehicle for any body damage or
electrical problems
♦Always solder and tape all connections.
♦Keep the antenna away from other
types of antennas (GPS/OnStar).
♦Never install the control unit where it
could interfere with normal operation or
obstruct service technicians.
♦Always use a grommet when running
wires into the engine compartment.
Never run wires through bare or sharp
metal.
♦Do not disconnect the battery on
vehicles equipped with air bags and
anti-theft radios.
♦Never ground the control unit to the
vehicle’s steering column.
♦Make sure that all the switches and
controls operate properly.
♦Verify that the vehicle starts and idles
properly.
♦Make sure that all safety equipment is
installed: the valet button (if provided),
the hood switch and the warning label.
♦When wiring in parallel, make sure you
isolate each connection with a diode in
order to avoid feedback and possible
damage.
Examples:
Wiring a clutch bypass and a
transponder module to the ground-out-
when-running wire: At the junction
point, where the ground-out-when-
running wire “splits” and connects to
each device, a diode is inserted on
each of these lines.
Multiple or separate door pin connec-
tions:
When joining all door pins together to
the door pin input wire of the module
unit, each wire must be isolated with a
diode to prevent feedback.
Note: The above examples reflect
common situations where diodes are
use to isolate connections. Please note
that there are numerous other cases
where diode isolation is required.
♦Always make sure that all external
relays or modules added to the module
unit are properly fused and diode
isolated.
♦On vehicles equipped with daytime
running lights, the installer may be
unable to see certain programming
results since the daytime running lights
never go out.

PS-4660TW Installation Guide P. 5
Note: The parking light output relay of
the unit gives two clicking sounds for
each flash of the lights: one click when
the lights would go ON and one click
when the lights would go OFF.)
♦Parking light flashes to which the text
refers throughout this manual refer to
the parking light output of the unit, not
of the vehicle.
Harness Description
When connecting a module, it is important to make sure that the connector with the
ground wire is connected first, before making the 12-volt connections. Should the unit be
powered up before being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal
components of the unit.
Be careful not to power up a module before it is properly
grounded. To avoid any accident, it is recommended to pull out the fuses from their
sockets before the installation, and to put them back during the very last steps.

er with the
trunk pin-switch, the key sense wire or the door pin-
switch:
Option 1 Connects to ne
g
ative trunk pin. When this
wire is programmed for trunk pin, pressing TRUNK will
activate a 1-second disarm output. If ground (-) is
detected on the trunk pin
(
the trunk has been
opened), an arm pulse will be sent 5 seconds after
the trunk is closes. An arm pulse will be sent 4
seconds after the TRUNK button is pressed if the trunk
pin state is unchanged (The trunk was unopened).
A
disarm pulse is sent onl
y
if the s

12 YELLOW (+) Glow-Plu
g
input
In diesel mode, this positive input will monitor the
glow plug light: it will wait for up to 30 seconds until
the glow-plu
g
li
g
ht
g
oes out before allowin
g
the
module to proceed to crankin
g
the en
g
ine. Connect
to the side of the glow-plu
g
li
g
ht which is positive
when the light is on.
Note: the module will nevertheless proceed to
cranking the engine if the glow-plu
g
li
g
ht is still on
after the 30-sec. delay (25 sec. when the run time is
set to 30 min.).
A Note on the Diesel Glow-plug Indicator Light:
(Also known as the “wait-to-start li
g
ht”.
)
The purpose
of the glow-plug circuit on diesel vehicles is to pre-
heat the combustion chamber before the vehicle is
started.
When a remote starter is installed on a diesel
vehicle, the glow-plu
g
section of the i
g
nition circuit
must be activated and allowed to operate before the
vehicle is remote-started. For that purpose, the glow-
plu
g
input wire of the module must be connected to
the glow-plug indicator light of the vehicle.
Caution! The module will only accept positive glow-
plu
g
input si
g
nals, therefore ne
g
ative
g
low plu
g
s
should onl
y
be connected usin
g
rela
y
s to invert the
polarity.
A diode must be added between the negative glow-
plug trigger on the relay and the negative glow-plu
g
wire of the car. This is to prevent feedback effects on
the glow-plu
g
indicator li
g
ht on the instrument
cluster: the light on the dash would come on because
of the feedback, even though the circuit is off.
When the user remote-starts the vehicle:
•The module will power up the I
g
nition circuit and
wait to engage the starter motor while the glow-
plug indicator light is still on.
•The module will engage the starter motor as
soon as the glow-plug light (+) goes out.
oMinimum waiting time is 5 seconds.
oMaximum waiting time is 30 seconds.
If no glow-plug wire is found on the vehicle, the glow-
plu
g
input on the module ma
y
be “timed out”. The
module will power up the ignition and glow-plu
g
circuits and simply wait for the time-out before
starting:

P. 12 Installation Guide PS-4660TW
12 YELLOW (+) Glow-Plu
g
input
(cont.)
•Connecting the glow-plu
g
input wire of the
module to ignition will hold the ignition ON for
the maximum waiting time (15 seconds
recommended)
•Keeping the module’s glow-plu
g
input wire
unconnected will hold the ignition ON for the
minimum waitin
g
time
(
3 sec., not recommended
in very cold environments).
Connect the glow-plu
g
wire to the i
g
nition wire onl
y
after the tach programming has been completed:

y
last
steps in the installation process.

There is also a positive parking light output.
Only one of these two different outputs needs
to be connected.
Flashing the Hood-Pin Switch
Flashing the hood-pin switch is a procedure that brings the module into programming
mode. Once the module is in programming mode, the installer will have a maximum of
20 seconds to select one of the sub-menus. If the installer fails to select a sub-menu
before the 20-second delay, the module will exit the programming mode and the installer
will have to flash the hood pin switch once more.
Tip
As long as the hood is up, you may use the
programming assistance button instead of the hood-
pin switch.

Here are the steps which the installer must follow in order to flash the hood-pin switch:
The installer … The module …
1. Press and hold the hood-pin switch for 4
seconds.
2. Release the hood-pin switch. The parking lights will turn ON.
3. While the parking lights are ON, press down
the hood-pin switch once more.
4. Release the hood-pin switch again.
Caution! If you press down and release the
hood-pin switch too many times, you will
enter diagnostic mode rather than
programming mode.
The parking lights will stay ON
for 20 seconds
5. You now have 20 sec. to select one of the
sub-menus.
Table 1: Flashing the hood-pin switch
Once the module has entered programming mode, you will have a selection of many
different sub-menus, which will be described later in this guide:
a. Transmitter Programming .....................................p.14
b. Programming Options ...........................................p.16
c. Honk/Horn Timing (if available)............................. p.19
d. Tach Programming ...............................................p.17
Remember:
Once the Parking Lights are ON (solid), you have up to 20 seconds to select
a sub-menu. If you do not select a sub-menu within 20 seconds, the Remote
Car Starter will exit Programming Mode and you will have to flash the Hood
Pin switch once again.
The Programming Assistance Button
(A.k.a. the PAB.) Mounted on the Remote
Car Starter, this button can be used from
within the vehicle instead of the Hood Pin
switch in the Engine compartment. This will
spare the installer the trouble of accessing
the Hood Pin switch in the Engine
compartment.
Caution
The Hood Pin switch must be installed and connected in order for the
Programming Assistance Button to function. The button will work only
when the Hood is up.

P. 14 Installation Guide PS-4660TW
Programming a Transmitter
Before you Proceed
The Transmitter of the Remote Car Starter is not delivered pre-programmed: it must be
programmed after the wiring of the Remote Car Starter is completed. The Remote Car
Starter has the ability to retain up to 4 different Transmitter codes; if a fifth Transmitter is
code-programmed, the code of the first Transmitter will be lost from memory. To erase
all Transmitter codes from memory, you must perform a reset of the Remote Car
Starter (see Resetting the Remote Car Starter, later in this Guide, for more details).
The Transmitter Programming Procedure
1. Flash the Hood Pin switch (see Table 1)
– The Parking Lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds.
– Before the lights go out, turn the Ignition Key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
– Immediately turn the Ignition Key back to the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the LOCK button and keep it down until the Parking Lights flash
5 times quickly.
– The Remote Car Starter has stored the code of the Transmitter into memory.
3. To exit: close the Hood.
Table 1
To program a Transmitter on the second vehicle for Multi-car Operation, you must
press the TRUNK button (instead of LOCK or UNLOCK) in step 3 of the Transmitter code-
learning procedure:
Entering Programming Options Mode
The module is equipped with four custom programming modes that allow the installer to
custom-fit the system outputs according to installation requirements. The programming
options are designed to facilitate interfacing with all vehicle types. (See section Table of
Programming Options later in this guide.)
To enter the programming center, follow either procedure (Table 2 or Table 3); please
note that the second procedure requires the use of the plug-in valet (not included):
1. Flash the hood pin switch (see page 12)
– The parking lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds.
– Before the lights go out:
2. Press and hold the brake pedal,
– And press one of the following buttons on the transmitter:
•LOCK to access mode 1;
•UNLOCK to access mode 2;
•TRUNK to access mode 3;
•START/STOP to access mode 4.
The parking lights will flash and the horn will honk once (if configured), twice three times or
four times to confirm entry into a mode.
3. Release the brake pedal.
4. To exit programming centre, simply close the hood.
Table 2

PS-4660TW Installation Guide P. 15
Note: The unit will stay in the selected programming mode until the hood pin-switch or the brake
pedal is pressed again. Therefore take your time to make the proper selection. Pressing the
brake pedal will take you back to the programming centre, where you can select a different mode.
1. With the key inserted in the ignition switch, turn the key from the OFF position to the
ON position and then back to the OFF position.
2. Press and hold the valet switch for three (3) seconds.
3. The LED will turn ON solid.

•While the Parking Lights are on, immediately push and release the
Pin-switch again. The Parking Lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
2. Press and hold the Brake Pedal, then simultaneously press the UNLOCK and START
buttons on the Transmitter – the Horn will honk 5 times.
3. Release the Brake Pedal.
4. To change the timing:
a. To increase the Horn pulse by 3 ms, press the LOCK button.
b. To decrease the pulse by 3 ms, press the UNLOCK button.
c. To increase the pulse by 10 ms, press the START/STOP button.

Adjusting Honk Duration
Otherwise close the Hood to cancel the changes.
For each timing change, the Horn will honk with the new settings, except in the
following cases:
•When the lower limit of 5 ms is reached, there will be a 1/4-sec. honk.
•When the upper limit of 200 ms is reached, there will be a 3/4-sec. honk.
A system reset will set the Remote Car Starter back to the default values: 30 ms.
Tach Programming
About Tach Programming
If you press the START button before carrying out a Tach Programming procedure, the
Remote Car Starter will make no attempt to start the Engine and the Parking Lights will
give 5 flashes.

P. 20 Installation Guide PS-4660TW
If order to carry out Tach Programming, you may simply follow the Automatic Tach
Programming procedure.
The Remote Car Starter stores Tach settings regardless of the procedure used at the
time of Tach programming. All Tach settings are cleared when the Remote Car Starter is
reset. A new Tach Programming procedure has to be carried out only if the Remote Car
Starter is reset.
Multi-speed Tach Programming
Tach signals may vary from vehicle to vehicle. The Remote Car Starter is designed to
read a wide range of Tach signals produced by recent Ignition systems. There is no
necessary manual adjustment. Nevertheless, a Tach-programming procedure must be
carried out every time a new Remote Car Starter Unit is installed. This is because the
Tach signals of certain Ignition systems are sometimes too low or too high for the
Remote Car Starter, causing failed start-ups at various temperatures.
1. Flash the Hood Pin switch (see Table 1)
– The Parking Lights will stay ON for up to 20 seconds.
– Before the lights go out:
2. Press and hold the Brake Pedal,
– And simultaneously press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the Transmitter:
– The Parking Lights will flash 4 times.
– Release the Brake Pedal.
3. Start up the Engine and allow the vehicle to reach regular Engine idle speed.
4. Once the Engine is running idle, press the Brake Pedal and keep it down until you
hear the Parking Lights Output flash 5 times.
– Release the Brake Pedal: Tach Programming is now complete.
Table 7
Note
The L.E.D. follows the Parking Lights during the
Transmitter Programming procedure.
At any time, close the Hood to end the Tach-
programming procedure.
Automatic Tach Programming
This simple procedure can replace the Multi-speed Tach Programming procedure:
1. Make sure that all the connections are properly made and that the Remote Car
Starter is powered up.
2. With the Hood up (ground on the Hood Pin switch line), start the vehicle using the
Key.
3. Allow the vehicle to reach regular Engine idle speed.
The Parking Light output from the Remote Car Starter will activate when the
vehicle starts and shut off once a Tach signal is detected.
4. Press the Brake Pedal and keep it down until you hear the Parking Lights Output
flash 5 times.
5. Shut down the Engine. Tach Programming is now complete.
